Escape: A Digital Detox in Thailand

The Search Begins for Five Millennials to Leave Their Digital Addiction Behind and Escape to Thailand for the Ultimate Adventure

Here’s a new twist on reality TV: ditching the smart phones and other digital devices and trying to survive without them for 12 days. Sound easy? Then maybe you should apply!

DreamJobbing Productions and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) are searching for five millennials willing to give up their digital devices and social media for the ultimate adventure in the Kingdom of Thailand.

This social experiment, Escape: A Digital Detox in Thailand, will be documented by the award-winning DreamJobbing production team and turned into a one-hour television special, which will air this spring on Outside TV.

“For a generation raised on technology, we are excited to see what will happen when our millennial cast experiences a true adventure without the crutch of their digital devices and social media,” says Lisa Hennessy, Co-founder of DreamJobbing and Executive Producer of Escape: A Digital Detox in Thailand.

“Thailand has always been the ideal destination for those looking to detox and escape the stresses of everyday life. We are excited to take the concept of detox out of the wellness world and into the tech world with Thailand as the backdrop,” said Kittipong Prapattong, Director of TAT Los Angeles.

For millennials brave enough to take on this challenge, a one-minute video application can be uploaded to http://www.DreamJobbing.com/ThailandEscape, showing why they would make a great fit for this digital detox adventure. Applications open November 15 and close on January 15, 2017. DreamJobbing and TAT will be choosing cast members throughout the next two months, so don’t wait to apply. The twelve-day adventure will take place in early 2017.
